Shoshana said:OK.
I scan office documents programmatically (C#).
Sometimes the file are password protected.
I am looking for a way to get content of file which is protected by
password to open.
(For modified-protected documents I open every file with impossible
password. If the file is modified-protected I get exception of "wrong
password", and open the file again in read only mode.)
I dont need specifically code sample from developer;
just an idea how to get the content any way (and I will generate the
code).

These documents protected this way can't be "scanned" for content as the
password is used to encrypt the information and it can't be retrieved
without having a "scanning" program that can handle password encrypted files
AND you will still need the password, however it is obtained, either by the
owner or by brute force.
OK.

Bob I said:A combination would be "Obtaining the password from the owner by brute
force". <VBG>=Very big grin. Meant to be a humorous statment.

Glad you explained it. Put that way, it is funny. Now I'm ROTFLMAO.
